We love our grandchildren and are unwilling to fund their destruction

Every year, grandparents across the UK hand over more than £2 and 4 billion pounds to the younger generation at Christmas. But if your children or grandchildren bank with high-street giants like Barclays, HSBC, or NatWest, your hard-earned money is used to fund fossil fuels, deforestation, and climate chaos.

This festive season, we are asking our members and supporters to take a stand.

THE BOYCOTT IS SIMPLE:

"I won’t transfer any Christmas money or Birthday money or inheritance money—unless if it goes into a green, ethical bank or building society that protects our planet instead of polluting it. Send me details of your non-fossil fuel funding bank account and the money will go right in”.

At the moment high-rated green providers like Nationwide Building Society are currently offering a FREE £175 cash bonus to anyone who switches their current account over to them.
